The Dean Has Arrived

Text Chapter 159: Sea of ​​Skeletons

According to what Xi Wei said, the trap that Youan and the others dug had a narrow top and a wide bottom, a bit like an Erlenmeyer flask in a chemical experiment. This can effectively prevent the abyssal snake from climbing up. You must know that the abyssal snake can not only move through the abdominal scales like ordinary snakes, but also use the hard ribs under its flesh as legs, just like a centipede Crawling so fast, if the pit dug is too shallow, or if the top is wide and the bottom is narrow with a slight slope, it may be able to rush up at once. In that case, the city guards who are surrounding the pit now gotta pay off...

However, being able to dig such a large hole in the town within a not too long period of time, although the magicians in this dungeon are not strong enough, the amount of magic power seems to be quite sufficient.

But it is obviously unrealistic to rely on a pit to kill the abyss serpent who is a high-level abyss creature. Not to mention other things, the venom of the big snake alone can dissolve an escape channel on the edge of the pit.

Almost at the moment Xi Wei flew out of the cave entrance, all the mud, bricks and rocks around the cave entrance exploded violently, poured into the pit, and buried the abyss snake in an instant!

Immediately, other free earth elemental magicians began to add bricks and tiles to this live burial. While burying the big snake alive, they also placed more rocks and soil inside, and finally pressed the land even more. The soil is made of masonry debris, but with their efforts, the hardness of the ground has surpassed that of ordinary rocks.

"Is that guy dead?" You An let out a long breath. The most nervous person in this battle was not Xi Wei, who was fighting with the abyss snake. It's not the earth elemental magicians who are processing and adding points, but him who has been integrating everyone and assigning their work.

Magicians who are good at fire will expel those weak demons around them. Magicians who are good at wind elements will help transport the bricks and stones dug out of traps. Magicians who are good at water elements will provide care, treatment and auxiliary work for others. The elemental magician is responsible for digging and finally filling the hole.

There are exceptions, but that's basically the case. Everyone divided the labor and cooperated, and finally succeeded in burying the abyss snake alive hundreds of meters underground at the critical moment!

"No, he shouldn't be dead yet." Xi Wei frowned and looked at the ground under his feet.

It wasn't actually the land he was looking at. It's a projection screen floating in mid-air.

It is very simple to confirm whether the abyss snake is dead or not, just check whether the corresponding task is completed or not. It's a pity that even if they buried the abyss snake alive. The task of killing the abyssal serpent on the Xi Wei task panel still did not show the completion status.

But thinking about it, the environment of the abyss is far worse than that of the main plane, and the adaptability of the creatures in the abyss is also far superior to the creatures in the main world.

It is not surprising that an existence of the level of the abyss serpent can hold its breath for three days and three nights. It seems impossible to suffocate it to death in a short period of time.

Of course, Xi Wei didn't intend to dig the opponent out of the ground and kill him again. Regardless of whether he could kill it or not, even if it was to dig it out, Xi Wei couldn't bear the workload.

I asked Youan for some currency in this dungeon, that is, elemental crystal fragments-this thing is a good thing, whether it is detonated to kill people or set fire, or to endow weapons with certain powers through means such as inlaying and enchanting, the most important thing is What's more, he can also summon the Fist of the Void King - after that. Xi Wei ran in another direction.

This time it's the east side, where the Skeleton King is.

After all, Xi Wei didn't have the confidence to challenge the demon lord, so compared to the demon lord with explosive combat power, it's better to fight the skeleton king who likes to call a bunch of younger brothers to fight around.

It's different from the abyss serpent that charged forward directly and crushed everything in one go. When Xi Wei rushed to the east, it had turned into a sea of ​​whiteness from a distance, and many city guards were separated into small groups, and they were falling into the patch of sporadic Struggling desperately in the sea of ​​skeletons of low-level demons.

There are all kinds of skeletons in the sea of ​​skeletons, and they are so weak that the crusade level is only level 1. Ordinary skeletons that can be broken up by ordinary people as long as they hold weapons. It is so strong that the crusade level is unknown, and it can easily launch a series of three-ring indigenous magic bone magic skeleton mage.

And the Skeleton King himself is particularly eye-catching in the skeleton sea with an average altitude of only 1.7 meters because of his huge body of nearly three meters.

But even so, the city guards could no longer stay in the sea of ​​skeletons for a longer period of time, let alone move to the other side to attack the other side.

Xi Wei also tried to snipe the Skeleton Monarch from a distance, but it had no effect at all.

Leaving aside the high-strength magic resistance that comes with the Skeleton King, every time Xi Wei attacks, a skeleton or something else will jump out to block the blow for the Skeleton King.

Continuing to watch from a distance didn't help the situation. He took a gulp of the little magic potion left, and then ran towards the sea of ​​skeletons!

As the saying goes, more ants kill elephants. There are only three ways to defeat a quantitative enemy: have more quantity than him, or have a quality that can ignore the quantity, or have a certain quantity and not low quality.

There was no way for Xi Wei to achieve the first two. Even counting the shadow servants and treants he could summon, the number here was still overwhelmingly unfavorable. And before Xi Wei was promoted to a great magician, it was impossible for him to have the strength to truly ignore numbers, so there was only one way left.

Gather the city guards who are being separated to form a force capable of fighting against the sea of ​​skeletons, and then use this force to directly kill the skeleton king!

There is also a saying of survival of the fittest in battle. Those weak city guards have long died in the battle, and all of them who can persist until now are all strong men. This can be seen from the fact that they have been surrounded by the sea of ​​skeletons for so long but still maintain good combat effectiveness.

And Xi Wei also had his own considerations in choosing to try to kill the Skeleton King.

Among the five missions, protecting the tower is the most random one. Xi Wei has no way of guaranteeing whether the tower will be pushed down by other bosses when he is fighting the boss. Among the three targets to kill, the abyss serpent was buried alive by himself and the city guards in the northwest. It would take a long time to suffocate it, at least the current Xi Wei couldn't afford to wait, and he couldn't dig it out, so naturally he couldn't kill it. There are three remaining tasks, among which killing the Demon Lord and Skeleton King is almost as difficult, and the easiest one is to kill 500 miscellaneous soldiers. Now Xi Wei has already killed more than 200. It's half done.

However, even the task of killing five hundred miscellaneous soldiers has a time limit and must be completed within an hour. And because of the fight with the abyss serpent, the remaining time is less than twenty minutes.

If Xi Wei didn't care about the skeleton king and the demon lord. Twenty minutes is not enough to kill less than 500 miscellaneous soldiers, but this is equivalent to giving the boss 20 minutes of free attack time in disguise, judging from the fighting power of the city guards before. The tower is bound to fail. In this way, Xi Wei had to fight the demon lord and the skeleton king at the same time in order to complete the task...

But if you try to kill the Skeleton King according to the plan just now, these densely packed skeletons can definitely be used to gather the five hundred miscellaneous soldiers, and at the same time, you don't need to waste time. If you can take advantage of the momentum to kill the Skeleton King It kills two birds with one stone!

That's why Xi Wei gave up observing the demon lord and went straight to the skeleton king.

It's not difficult to break into the sea of ​​skeletons. The strength of the skeletons is really too weak. Xi Wei blasted his way through the sea of ​​skeletons with only a magic missile ten times as powerful. But when he went deep into the sea of ​​skeletons, the surrounding pressure suddenly increased geometrically.

There are Skeleton Axeman (Level 6), Skeleton Heavy Armor (Level 7), Shadow Assassin (Level 8), Great Swordsman (Level 9), etc. Cannon fodder and meat shield control and output Everything is available. What's more, there was a skeleton mage (hunting level 15) in the distance who repaired the skeleton next to Xi Wei when he hit him with magic, which made his maneuvering space even more stretched. Even after he perfected it, he was finally able to barely The magic barrier covering the whole body also cracked due to too many attacks, and it seemed to be unable to hold on.

However, Xi Wei had experienced many dungeons anyway. A man who has been fighting in battle for nearly two months in a row, a man with rich combat experience, will not be helpless just because of a little skeleton.

At the same time that the magic barrier was broken, Xi Wei ejected all the surrounding skeletons with a repulsion technique. This magic has no lethality, but it is more effective than many powerful magics when surrounded - if you use a big magic at this time If you use powerful magic, you will also be hurt because you are too close to the opponent. It can only be drinking poison to quench thirst.

When a small open space appeared around Xi Wei, he first filled himself with a magic barrier, and then used magic blunt force to smash hard at the skeleton on the right. In that direction there is a group of city guards separated by a sea of ​​skeletons.

Relying on magic and fighting and walking, Xi Wei arrived at an extremely damaged building. The house was an ordinary two-story house. The surrounding walls were originally white, but now there are many khaki places. It looks like patches have been made on a white wall. In fact, this can really be regarded as a patch. When a skeleton digs a hole somewhere in the house, the city guards hiding inside will seal the hole with earth elemental magic. These are all patches.

Fortunately, there is no skeleton wizard who can use the three-ring magic to stare at them, otherwise the fortifications of this level will be blown down in one fell swoop.

This team is the weakest of the surviving city guards. Its members are a water elemental magician, two earth elemental magicians and a battle magician.

The battle mage is responsible for blocking the door, guarding the door alone, keeping all the skeletons out. The water elemental magician is responsible for supporting and assisting the battle mage, and at the same time sharing a little bit for the battle mage when the battle situation is tight.

The two earth element magicians were busy tinkering, and occasionally threw a few dust balls out of the window. Although the power was not great, it was better than nothing...

At first, the city guards in the house were very happy to see Xi Wei, thinking that rescue was coming, but when they found that Xi Wei was only alone, the house immediately fell into a mood of despair.

Xi Wei didn't have time to enlighten them either - there were less than ten minutes left. But there are still more than a hundred missions for the five hundred miscellaneous soldiers. If you don't hurry up, the mission will fail.

So he explained to the other party succinctly, there is no 'Gentlemen, I like war! ’ and other inspiring words, and there was no catchy slogan like ‘Demacia’, Xi Wei simply explained his plan to the other party, and then rushed into the sea of ​​skeletons again at the head of the pack.

Those city guards looked at each other. In the end, he followed Xi Wei's footsteps and moved in one direction.

They were not stupid, so they naturally knew that Xi Wei's plan had a pitifully low success rate. But at the same time, they are not cowards, rather than huddled in the house, waiting to die in fear. Why not just dedicate your life to killing the Skeleton Monarch? As city guards, they also have their own dignity and glory. If there is no goal, they will put their own lives first, and everything is just to survive. When the goal appears, they will put their lives aside and use It comes to defend its own country and the people behind it!

Xi Wei's progress was not smooth. The closer he got to the Skeleton Monarch, the greater the resistance he encountered. Among the four magicians who followed him, one of the earth elemental mages died. The remaining three people also all hang the lottery. But after going through all kinds of hardships, they finally approached the place where the second city guard was!

At the same time, Xi Wei's mission also underwent new changes.

[Guarantee that Eredson's Tower of Splendor will not be breached within one hour after the start of the battle: completed]

[Kill more than 500 demons and undead within an hour: complete]

[Number of remaining necessary tasks: 1]

After completing two missions in a row, he only needs to kill the Skeleton Monarch again, and the dungeon will be successfully cleared. According to Xi Wei's experience, no matter what copy. If you can pass the level once, the rewards will be much better than the second time.

The temptation of the reward gave him a lot of fighting spirit!

The second city guard team was much stronger than the first one. There were more than a dozen of them. They worked together in shifts to set up the barrier, killed the surrounding skeletons, and did not stop resting and healing. Even if Xi Wei and the others don't come, if they follow the current pace and the strength of the monsters, it probably doesn't matter if they last a day.

After Xi Wei stated his thoughts, the city guards immediately divided into two camps except those who were still on shift.

One is that Xi Wei's idea is too unreliable. Instead of risking the risk of complete annihilation, it is better to wait until the rest of the reinforcements arrive, and slowly eat away all the skeletons with them. The other camp naturally felt that Xi Wei's plan was worth a try, and their attitude was a little more pessimistic, thinking that there might be no reinforcements that could come to support them.

The two camps argued for more than ten minutes. In the end, only four people were willing to follow Xi Wei. The remaining three people also expressed that they did not want to waste their previous efforts and wanted to go to the end. By the way, their injuries have been healed by Xi Wei with life potion.

Finally, Xi Wei took seven people and started to move forward again.

Unlike when the number of people is small, when the number of people is large, they can choose other ways to move forward without having to resist the attacks of the skeletons.

Xi Wei increased the magic output of the magic barrier, barely covering the seven people, and then the other magicians took turns to lead the way, while Xi Wei kept this barrier-like but movable protective cover all the way forward.

Afterwards, although they passed through several separated City Guard Army sites one after another, they were mostly the same as the previous one, with two camps appearing clearly, until finally Xi Wei ran all over the City Guard Army sites and ran directly to When challenging the Skeleton King, there were only fifteen people in their team...

Just when Xi Wei and the others were about to confront the Skeleton King head-on, a violent explosion sounded from behind them, followed by a huge wind as terrifying as a 12-level typhoon! It doesn't matter to Xi Wei and the others. It's not a big problem to squat down quickly and hold each other. At most, it's just difficult to move, but those skeletons were blown to pieces, and many of them were directly mixed in by this formation. The wind of magic power was eliminated, and the dense sea of ​​skeletons was emptied a lot.

Before Xi Wei and the others came back to their senses what happened, there were screams of people not far away.

Immediately, the magicians around Xi Wei also started to say in horror, "Where is my magic power? My magic power is gone!" "The Tower of Splendor has been captured, we are finished!" "Damn it, Eredson is destined to fall Are you here!" "Mom..."

Xi Wei looked back into the distance, and saw that the tall tower had disappeared, presumably it was captured by the demon lord.

And as soon as the tower was destroyed, most of the human magic power in this town was reduced by half. The screams before should have come from the city guards just now. It can only become a scorpion under the knife.

On the contrary, the city guards who followed Xi Wei did not suffer any damage because of Xi Wei's magic barrier protection.

"Now is not the time to be in a daze!" Seeing the desperate looks on everyone's faces, Xi Wei could no longer just sit idly by: "It's not over yet! The only chance of victory now is to keep moving forward." , Gather that little power and defeat the Skeleton King! Only in this way can we seize that last chance! Only we, our family can continue to live!"

"Don't worry, as long as you can stop these skeletons, I will definitely be able to kill the skeleton lord! Guaranteed in my name, Xi Wei Edric!" (To be continued...)
